Controlling blood loss is an essential part of almost every surgical procedure. Often, high-quality haemostats are used to help soak up blood and encourage clotting, giving the surgeon a clearer field of vision and improving patient outcomes.
One of the most effective haemostats currently on the market is Cutanplast FAST. A haemostatic gelatine sponge, Cutanplast FAST has been specifically developed for surgery and is available in five formats, each tailored for a particular purpose. The product offers a range of benefits over other haemostats and has already become an indispensable tool for surgeons.
Easy To Use
When using haemostatic agents in surgery, it’s essential that the product chosen is effective and easy to use. Cutanplast FAST has been designed with usability in mind. The sterile gelatine sponge has a porous surface, this makes it soft and flexible and means that it can be placed quickly and efficiently.
Surgeons can either choose to apply the sponge dry or they can soak it with a sterile solution before application. This versatility helps to ensure Cutanplast FAST is suitable for a wide range of occasions.
A Choice Of Sizes And Formats
Cutanplast FAST is available in five formats, each designed for a particular surgical application. Use 10x10x4 Cutanplast for dental surgery, 80x125x4 Cutanplast for general, parenchymal, and thoracic surgery, or Cutanplast FAST powder for orthopaedics surgery and gynaecology. Sponges can be easily cut and shaped to meet patient needs, ensuring surgeons always have the right haemostat for the job.
Safe For Sensitive Patients
Safety is an integral part of patient care, so it’s essential that all haemostats used in surgical procedures are up to standard. Cutanplast FAST is a non-toxic and allergy-free product. Thanks to its neutral pH levels, it’s perfect for patients who are sensitive or prone to allergies and it is a safe option for surgeons looking to protect vulnerable patients.
Excellent Absorption
One of the major benefits of Cutanplast FAST is that it can absorb up to 60 times its weight in blood within just a few minutes of application. This excellent absorption means that it’s able to stop haemorrhages quickly and reduce surgical intervention time. Absorption is a crucial factor for effective haemostasis, hence why this is a significant advantage for surgeons who want more control in the theatre.
Faster Haemostasis
Because Cutanplast FAST can absorb blood quickly, it can generate haemostasis within just 2 – 8 minutes of application. Quicker than traditional gelatin sponge haemostats, Cutanplast gives surgeons the ability to control bleeding quickly and effectively.
Offering a great choice of sizes and formats, excellent usability, rapid absorption, and unrivalled haemostasis, Cutanplast FAST is ideal for use in a wide range of surgical procedures.
